Fishies at The Georgia Aquarium

The Georgia Aquarium is a great place to go for a family time. It has whale sharks, beluga whales, spider crabs, sea horses, jelly fish, stingrays and more.

Here is the best part: You get to pet baby cow nose stingrays and southern stingrays. Some people are afraid of stingrays now because of what happened to Steve Erwin. But, their barbs (the stinging part) are clipped, so it is perfectly safe for you to pet them. Plus, they really don't attack unless they are threatened.

Also you get to pet baby hammer head sharks. The baby hammer heads are about seven inches big. They do not bite. All of them have been trained, so they won't attack visitors.

Here is a Spider Crab. They are SO WEIRD looking. They don't move as quickly as a real spider does. But they are really funny. Some of them just sit there all day.

Very cool aquarium! There's some interesting other weird deep sea creatures here. I especially like the "glass squid".

Wow that sounds amazing! I really like how you describe all of the creatures there. I don't think I've ever been to an aquarium... Or I just can't remember properly :P

I'll be posting a massage later so check back soon :D
